To be fair, they'd be fine with "t=iceweasel" as well, as I've mentioned
in https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2012/03/msg00120.html

I've also checked this option, although indirectly, by asking if they
already have statistics to share based on User-Agent. The answer has
been negative. All in all, it is pretty clear that the person we're
interacting with has that option to propose, i.e. a rather standard
agreement whose underlying technical infrastructure is not his to
change. We can accept or give up, but it's likely not in our power to
impose how they do the accounting. That's life.
Cheers.
